“Me and a friend had a 2hr surfing lesson while travelling down the garden route. Such good fun and Jaco was great for teaching us as we had only been once before around 4 years ago. Gave us great tips and helped us a lot! Would highly recommend this surf school, great communication too!”
“Amazing, warm and encouraging teachers. There every step of the way. My daughter is very excited about surfing and now even more determined to excel. Thank you.”
“Wow, what a breathtaking experience! It’s always been a dream of mine to learn how to surf, and Vibe Surf School made that dream come true. Corne and his team will ensure that you have a gooood time in the water with a smile on your face (:”
“Rigert and the Vibe Surf School team made the experience so great. He was in constant contact before the lesson to ensure we had the best waves for beginners. The lesson was amazing with easy to follow instructions, and constant support & guidance that both my 6 year old nephew and I were able to stand up and ride a wave within the first few waves. We also felt very safe in the water with the Vibe Surf School team. All round an amazing experience.”
“I had my very first surf lesson with Steven at Victoria Bay in Wilderness. I can highly recommend this surf school. At the beginning you get a little instruction on land and then you go into the water and practise in the white wash. There were two of me in my surf lesson and Steven managed to concentrate fully on both of us, analyzed our individual mistakes and generally gave us a very good feeling. The 2 hours were over super quickly and it was a lot of fun.”
